The most effective green building projects dont buy their greenness
by tacking on features but rather use a different approach to design and
management

The Integrative Design Process (IDP) is how these projects save money
and time while increasing building performance and is one of the most
important aspects of creating a cost-effective high-performance green
building. Come hear from one of the worlds leading thinkers and
practitioners of Integrative Design, who will share his expertise on how
to save cost and create better performing buildings by getting all of
the design team members working together from early in the design process.

An integrated design process (IDP) produces cost effective, high performance,
elegant design.
So why is it the exception rather than the rule?
What is the difference between Conventional Practice and an IDP?
Where are the opportunity points to leverage green strategies?

The course will cover the philosophy and practical aspects of IDP

Cost and integrative cost bundling issues

Systems thinking

Timing for input

Team relationships and structure

Design process mapping

Join us for this workshop which uses the research and design process
findings that sourced the recent book by Seven Group and Bill Reed, The

Redefining the Practice of Sustainability.
